I am making a dynamic wordpress links in navigation bar using nav_walker. How can i implement center something like this in wordpress nav_walker:
+-----------------------------+-----------+------------------------------+
+---------------HOME--ABOUT---|-LOGO HERE-|---CONTACT--PROFILE-----------+
+-----------------------------+-----------+------------------------------+
How can i do that or something provide me jsfiddle to come up with that please.
Is it two nav_walker function for left and right navigation? how can i insert the navbar brand in center? can anyone give me structure. thanks.
my code:
<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="navbar-brand navbar-center">
</div>
<?php wp_nav_menu(array(
'menu' => 'primary-1',
'theme_location' => 'primary-1',
'depth' => 2,
'container' => 'div',
'container_class' => 'collapse navbar-collapse navbar-center',
'container_id' => 'bs-example-navbar-collapse-1',
'menu_class' => 'nav navbar-nav',
'fallback_cb' => 'wp_bootstrap_navwalker::fallback',
'walker' => new wp_bootstrap_navwalker()
));
?>
</nav>
It can by suprisingly simple if you have same amount of items on left and on right. Just create a list, put the logo in the middle and do text-align: center
. See here: https://jsfiddle.net/DTcHh/26132/
The trouble starts when the left and right are even slightly uneven. I suggest creating two lists, each for half of the screen. They will be aligned towards the center and leave a space in the center for the logo.

html:
<div class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class="logo-wrapper">
<div class="logo"><img class="logo" src="http://www.hsdtaxlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/logo_placeholder.png" alt=""></div>
</div>
<div class="half">
<ul class="left-navlist">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="half">
<ul class="right-navlist">
<li>Contact</li>
<li>Profile</li>
<li>Maps</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
css:
.logo-wrapper {
text-align: center;
margin-bottom: -37px;
}
.logo {
width: 100px;
display: inline-block;
}
.navbar li {
display: inline-block;
padding: 0 10px 10px;
}
.half {
width: 50%;
display: block;
float: left;
}
.right-navlist {
padding-left: 60px;
}
.left-navlist {
text-align: right;
padding-right: 60px;
}
As for how to implement this with wordpress, I believe you will have to get rid of the navwalker plugin. Just create two menus in wordpress: left-primary
and right-primary
. Then just iterate them with wp_get_nav_menu_items('left-primary')
and build the menu as I suggested. Here is the php code without the nav-walker:
<div class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class="logo-wrapper">
<div class="logo"><img class="logo" src="http://www.hsdtaxlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/logo_placeholder.png" alt=""></div>
</div>
<div class="half">
<ul class="left-navlist">
<?
$menu = wp_get_nav_menu_items('left-primary');
foreach ($menu as $menu_item) {
$title = $menu_item->title;
$link = $menu_item->url;
?>
<li href="<?=$link?>"><?=$title?></li>
<?
?
?>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="half">
<ul class="right-navlist">
<?
$menu = wp_get_nav_menu_items('right-primary');
foreach ($menu as $menu_item) {
$title = $menu_item->title;
$link = $menu_item->url;
?>
<li href="<?=$link?>"><?=$title?></li>
<?
?
?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
A while ago I was looking for the exact same thing and came across this pen.

Bootstrap 3 Headers Look at last example !
HTML
<div class="container">
<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar9">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="brand-centered">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="http://disputebills.com"><img style="margin-right: 10px; padding: 0;" src="http://res.cloudinary.com/disputebills/image/upload/v1462474206/blue-mark_cnzgry.png" alt="Dispute Bills">Dispute Bills
</a>
</div>
<div id="navbar9" class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-left">
<li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
</ul>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<!--/.nav-collapse -->
</div>
<!--/.container-fluid -->
CSS
.navbar-brand {
padding: 0px;
}
.navbar-brand>img {
height: 100%;
padding: 15px;
width: auto;
}
/* EXAMPLE 9 - Center with Flexbox and Text*/
.brand-centered {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
left: 0;
top: 0;
}
.brand-centered .navbar-brand {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
Ok try using the below markup to achieve what you are looking for, you also need to tweak a little of CSS to override the bootstrap's default styles.
HTML
<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container">
<div id="navbar" class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#about">About</a></li>
<a class="navbar-brand">Your logo</a>
<li><a href="../navbar/">Contact</a></li>
<li><a href="../navbar/">Profile</a></li>
</ul>
</div><!--/.nav-collapse -->
</div>
</nav>
The CSS which achieves what you want(make sure this overrides the default bootstrap styles)
.navbar-nav {
float: none;
margin: auto;
max-width: 40%; //adjust to your requirements
}
